— After Dario Amodei refused to remove safety guardrails for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance, Trump ordered every federal agency to "immediately cease" using Anthropic. Defense Secretary Hegseth designated Anthropic a supply-chain risk — a classification normally reserved for foreign adversaries like Huawei — barring all Pentagon contractors from commercial activity with Anthropic. The $200M Pentagon contract is void, with a 6-month DOD phaseout. Sam Altman backed Anthropic's red lines, and 430+ employees from Google and OpenAI signed a "We Will Not Be Divided" solidarity letter. This is the most consequential government action against a domestic AI company in history. (CNBC, NPR, TechCrunch)
